Comfortable Stay with Wonderful Staff I really enjoyed my stay at Kate’s Nest Guesthouse. It is a peaceful, reasonably priced guesthouse with a lovely rustic-meets-modern atmosphere. My private room was comfortable, with reliable Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a refrigerator, hot water, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and cable TV. The kitchen and housekeeping staff were wonderful, hardworking, and very helpful, and I truly appreciated their care throughout my stay. A special thank-you to Kate, the owner, who resolved an issue I had quickly and with such ease. She was responsive and made me feel that my concern was taken seriously. One small suggestion would be for the front desk to offer a little more warmth and smiling. A friendly greeting can make a big difference, especially after a long journey. Other than that, the staff were awesome. For future guests, note that "shared bathroom" means the bathroom is outside the room in the corridor. I originally booked that room type but paid to upgrade to a private room with the bathroom inside, which suited me much better. I also recommend arranging airport transportation in advance. Kate’s Nest offers airport pickup. I made my own separate arrangement with a driver who provided excellent airport transportation as well as transportation around Windhoek and made my arrival easy and stress-free. Overall, I had a very pleasant and comfortable stay and would be happy to stay at Kate’s Nest again.

House keeping told me I had to leave at 10 am when Expedia said 11 am. Very aggressive house keeping staff. Use of kitchen has electric stove but they won't use it. You have to go outside the building to use theirgas burner. Terrible condition of kicken. Asked 3 times to desk for soup to wash dishes. There is smoking in pool area and very loud at night. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

It's 10 min drive away from the city, so has a quiet suburban feeling, a few decently big supermarkets 20-25 minutes walk away. Easy to get a taxi around the corner.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A few things: advertised as having air conditioning, however only a few rooms have it. The staff were absolutely terrible and extremely rude. Out of the 7 nights we stayed, our room was never cleaned (or even asked if we wanted it to be clean) even though it says there is daily housekeeping. Would not return.

Preiswerte Unterkunft in Windhoek

Die Unterkunft ist nicht leicht zu finden. Eine Klingel sucht man beim geschlossenen Tor vergebens.
